More to Explore
The beautiful Ionian island of Kefalonia is still relatively unknown to visitors. There is no mass tourism here and it's authentically Greek. A stunning place to explore, offering a diverse landscape of towering mountains, secluded coves, Blue Flag beaches, cypress forests, sprawling vineyards and colorful fishing ports. It's no wonder why the island was used as the setting for the acclaimed film Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Neighboring Ithaca is also well worth a day trip, an unspoiled hiking paradise with rugged vegetation and only shy mountain goats interrupt the silence. The island is famous as the setting of ‘The Odyssey ‘ by Homer. Every traveler should visit Ithaca once and follow in the footsteps of this epic story!

Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters, and hotel staff of approximately €15 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute is, accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip.
